We just came back from a nine day trip to Kailua Kona. We were very impressed by the Castle D7 unit. We had an ocean front view and could actually see a manta ray sitting from our sofa in the living room. We, of course, spent more time on our lanai which was also fabulous. The kitchen was stocked with... More

We were visiting the Big Island with our 2 children and decided that we would rent a condo for our stay. We thought the Castle Kona reef would be the perfect place to stay. Our unit was f25 and it was a dump. After we got over the shock of our room we thought we could make it work. The... More

Our stay here was brief - only two nights - but comfortable. The unit we had was well maintained, with an updated kitchen (although the hardware was rusting), and a great view of the ocean. The majority of the unit was spacious and inviting (lots of volcano artwork!), but I would have preferred slightly more room in the bedroom, where... More

The location of the Castle Kona Reef was very good. The property is on the ocean and within walking distance of Kona for meals and shopping. Unfortunately the positives stopped there. The unit had been recently repainted, but there was a large brown stain on the ceiling in the kitchen most likely from a leaking sink in the unit above.... More

I reviewed all of the hotel choices on the American Airlines website and that is where I found Kona Reef Condominiums in Kona, Hawaii. We arrived at night, unable to see the resort until the next...

We stayed in B32, for the $ we paid you won't find a better deal or location. Very short walk to the Kona village shops and restaurants. This unit had full kitchen, flat screen tv with DVD and VHS, boogie boards, snorkel equip, lawn chairs, coolers and good parking. It also had a/c which we never used as the big... More

My husband and I have been to the Kona Reef six times and love it for its great location. You can walk into town and the farmer's market there is amazing. October 2011, we stayed for two weeks and realize that the rooms are privately owned so you never know exactly what to expect. The mattress in our bedroom was... More
